Might We Sing The Song?

Perhaps one day we Americans shall sing with the regret and shame of the Germans. After all, our power and supposed "invulnerability" will only last so long.



I see houses burning
I'm ashamed
Before you close your eyes denyingly
You'd better ask yourself:

Did I choose something I could regret?
Did I do something I should regret?

Is this the place I used to call Fatherland?
Is this the place I used to know as Fatherland?

The silence is illusion
Stay awake
I hear children crying
Do cowards ask themselves:

Did I choose something I could regret?
Did I do something I should regret?

Is this the place I used to call Fatherland?
Is this the place I used to know as Fatherland?

Did I choose something I could regret?
Did I do something I should regret?

Is this the place I used to call Fatherland?
Is this the place I used to know as Fatherland?

Is this the place I used to call Fatherland?
Is this the place I used to know as Fatherland?

Fatherland
Fatherland
Fatherland
Fatherland
Fatherland
